The Great Musicians: John Martyn
01 Mar 1983
The History of Rock #29 (vol 3)
Rolling Stone magazine described John Martyn's music as 'jazz-tinged pop-folk', neatly encapsulating the problems that Martyn poses for ardent music categorisers and critics who always seem to flounder when faced with such an original musician.
